DRINKING WATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Global Pharmaceutical Company EnviQ Membrane Bioreactor (MBR)

  The Serum Institute is a global pharmaceutical company that is one of the world’s largest producers of vaccines. The Institute was planning an expansion to their manufacturing plant in Pune, India, that resulted in an additional water requirement for the plant’s needs.

• Multi-Barrier Treatment Strategy - New York City

  New York City is home to more than 8 million people, making it the most populous city in the United States. The majority of New York's drinking water is supplied by the Catskill/Delaware watershed, located approximately 100 miles outside the city. Historically, NYC has not filtered the water from this system, nor did they require any additional barriers to microbial contaminants due to the pristine nature of the watershed.

• 9 Reasons Why Drinking Water Distribution System Monitoring Is Now Practical

  Drinking water professionals and engineers understand that maintaining safe and high-quality water throughout the distribution system is a critical responsibility. Chlorine, the backbone of disinfection, ensures safety, but its effectiveness can falter in the complex network of pipes, tanks, and dead ends.

• Solutions For Every Stage Of The Water Lifecycle

  Solving daunting water scarcity challenges serve as the battle cry for the modernization of the water industry; and for many addressing these challenges, is their north star in their pursuit of innovation in water design and management.

• 4 Treatment Plant Budget Busters To Avoid

  Municipalities work diligently to produce quality drinking water and meet strict wastewater treatment regulatory standards while managing expenses. Advanced technologies allow utilities to gather actionable information and strategically offset deficiencies.

• GAO Report Promotes New Way To Advance LSL Remediation

  In a report released just days before the U.S. EPA issued its final revisions to the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR), the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) provided insights that water utilities can use to achieve better protections for water customers in neighborhoods at higher risk of lead exposure. Here is a peek into its four recommendations, which the GAO anticipated updating in response to the EPA final LCR revisions.

• A Collaborative Leakage Project With Anglian Water

  With an aging distribution network becoming ever-more prone to leaks and bursts, it is clear utilities cannot continue to do what they have always done. Industrial IoT is reshaping the landscape.

• On The Job In 72 Hours Following Utility's Massive Water Main Break

  On the morning of December 12, 2017, about 30 homes in the Shelby Park neighborhood of Lousiville, KY, were without water, and others were experiencing low water pressure after a massive water main break at the intersection of Clay and Oak streets. More than 20 million gallons of water flooded the neighborhood, covering a three-block area.

• The Science Of Mixing And Improving Water Quality In Water Storage Tanks

  Water storage tanks and reservoirs are a critical component of distribution systems, yet they can pose a significant challenge for water utilities as they often have a negative impact on water quality. Water quality problems can develop due to low turnover and/or inadequate mixing resulting in short-circuiting. While the benefits of maximizing tank turnover to minimize water age are generally understood, it is only recently that extensive research on mixing characteristics of storage tanks has been undertaken that has provided insight on what causes water quality problems and expertise in designing inlet/outlet pipe configurations, or mixing systems, to achieve complete mixing and maintain water quality.

• ABB Flowmeters Help Cut Water Loss In Bangkok

  ABB’s AquaMaster flowmeters have been integral to the overall water management solution. Over 400 AquaMaster flowmeters actively serve the Bangkok Metropolitan area helping optimize the management of the water distribution network.
